"Could it be that he figured it out?"

Miya's radiant smile made Yūhi Shinku feel very uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"Untie!"

Ignoring the Genin attacking him from all sides, Miya's Nuclear Fission Furnace instantly increased its operating power, allowing him to break free from the Genjutsu set up by Yūhi Shinku in an instant.

"That wretched brat."

After breaking free from the Genjutsu, Miya, with a smile in his eyes, stared intently at Yūhi Shinku.

Looking at the invigilators busily working in the examination room, one can easily imagine how intense their battle within the Genjutsu must have been.

Before long, one-third of the seats in the examination room were empty.

After flipping through the exam paper in his hand again, Miya finally saw the exam questions.

1. Are there any problems?

The answer is obvious!

Just as Miya sat quietly in his seat, the second person to break the Genjutsu appeared, and this person was none other than Kengo, whose arm had just been torn off by Miya during the Genjutsu.

As for how Kengo broke the Genjutsu, it was rather pitiful, because he had just experienced death, and was mistakenly killed in the chaos of battle.

Because of death, Kengo broke the Genjutsu; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape Yūhi Shinku's Genjutsu so quickly.

Opening his eyes, Kengo mumbled groggily:

"Where am I? I'm dead!"

However, the next second!

"No, I'm not dead! It's Genjutsu."

Startled, Kengo noticed Kotomi and Sōtarō beside him, their eyes glazed over, and instantly realized what was happening.

"Kotomi, Sōtarō, wake up! Wake up!"

With Kengo shaking them, and as he used Chakra to interfere with the Chakra within Kotomi and Sōtarō, the two successfully woke up from the Genjutsu.

"Kengo? Aren't you dead?"

"That was all Genjutsu."

Sōtarō's doubtful voice fell, Kengo immediately offered an explanation.

"Is that so?"

Seeing that her companion was still alive, Kotomi's face beamed with a happy smile.

Following the three, another person awoke from the Genjutsu.

It was Pakura, and her two teammates.

The 30-minute countdown ended, and the last second ticked down to zero.

With a blank expression, Yūhi Shinku took a step forward and then said:

"Exam over, hand in your papers."

Those who broke free from the Genjutsu could see the questions on the exam paper and naturally guess the answers.

Everyone stood up, including Miya.

Holding the exam papers, Miya and the other examinees addressed Yūhi Shinku:

My answer is, no problem!

"No problem."

"No problem."

Without a doubt, Miya and the others successfully passed the first test of the Chunin Ninja Exams.

"Congratulations on passing the first exam. Next..."

Before Yūhi Shinku could finish speaking, the exam hall door was pushed open, and a hoarse voice rang out.

Apart from Miya, all the other candidates got goosebumps.

"Chief Examiner Shinku, it seems your test was far too easy; how could so many people have passed?"

"Leave the rest to me!"

Upon hearing this, Yūhi Shinku nodded without saying a word.

In the examination hall, including Miya, all 79 pairs of eyes were fixed on Orochimaru, who had just appeared.

"I am Orochimaru, the examiner for your second exam. Please follow me to the examination hall for the second exam."

"Hehe..."

As Orochimaru spoke, he looked at the group of examinees and smiled wickedly.

Orochimaru's gaze drifted to Miya, and in his mind, he was 100% certain that what was about to happen would be very interesting.

"I'm really looking forward to the second exam."

In the classroom where the Jonin gathered, all of them gasped when Jonin Orochimaru appear.

"Cold Lord Orochimaru."

Why this man?

"I never expected Konoha would appoint him as the chief examiner."

Orochimaru's appearance was a complete surprise to them.

"It's over."

In the classroom, the Jonin from Yukigakure didn't focus his attention on Orochimaru; instead, he seemed dejected.

Today, the six genin from Yukigami Village failed even the first exam, meaning their journey to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams is over.

"But this is for the best!"

The Snow Village Jonin opened his melancholy eyes, which gradually hardened.

"Although Yukigakure is still a small ninja village now, it will definitely grow and prosper in the future."

"I believe that Yūma and the others will definitely become the future pillars of Yukigakure."

Mixed in with the examinees following Orochimaru, Miya, lightly equipped, pondered his next move.

"Following the established procedures is such a waste!"

Thinking that he couldn't let himself be taken advantage of, Miya's eyes lit up and he instantly came up with an idea.

"Anyway, it's all about showcasing the village's strength. If I exceed the task requirements, the three generations of elders will give me some extra rewards. That should be reasonable, right?"

Miya, who was holding onto a "good" idea, arrived at Konoha's Training Ground 44 with a group of examinees.

The entrance to the Forest of Death.

Miya this place very well!

Standing at the entrance, Orochimaru faced the group of examinees and slowly said:

"The place behind me is where your second exam will be held."

No one spoke; they were all waiting for Orochimaru to announce the test questions.

"Before the exam begins, each of your teams will receive a scroll, divided into the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll."

"Only by collecting Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll within five days and reaching the very center of the forest can the team at the Central Tower pass this test."

"Here's a special rule: the Central Tower will not be open for the first three days after the exam begins. In other words, you must survive in this forest for at least three days."

After announcing the exam rules, Orochimaru put his entire hand into his mouth. Luckily, everyone present was a ninja; otherwise, if an ordinary child had seen this, they would have been terrified and cried.

Orochimaru pulled out a wet scroll, and then he said:

"Candidates who wish to continue the exam, please come forward and sign this waiver of life and death. You will then be randomly given one of the scrolls to enter the Forest of Death."

When Miya saw the death warrant in Orochimaru's hand, his eyes lit up.

"A death contract, what a valuable thing!"

With this, Miya was no longer afraid, and he could now act freely.

Besides Miya, some Genin who were quite confident in their own strength also had their eyes shining.

"This also means that someone will die in this exam!"

A group of examinees, some excited, some solemn, some worried, and some indifferent, all looked at the life-or-death contract in Orochimaru's hand and thought of the same question.

A sharp gaze fell upon Miya.

It's Kengo!
